Neuromorphic computing or brain-inspired computing is considered as a potential solution to overcome the energy inefficiency of the von Neumann architecture for artificial intelligence applications -. In order to realize spin-based neuromorphic computing practically, it is essential to design and fabricate electronic analogues of neurons and synapses. An electronic analogue of a synaptic device should provide multiple resistance states. A neuron device should receive multiple inputs and should provide a pulse output when the summation of the multiple inputs exceeds a threshold. We have been carrying out investigations on the design and development of various synaptic and neuron devices in our laboratory. Domain wall (DW) devices based on magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), where the DW can be moved by spin-orbit torque, are suitable candidates for the fabrication of synaptic and neuron devices . Spin-orbit torque helps in achieving DW motion at low energies whereas the use of MTJs helps in translating DW position information into resistance levels (or voltage pulses) . This talk will summarize various designs of synthetic neurons synaptic elements and materials . The first half of the talk will be at an introductory level, aimed at first-year graduate students. The second half will provide details of the latest research. K. Roy, A Jaiswal, and P Panda, “Towards Spike-Based Machine Intelligence With Neuromorphic Computing,” Nature 575, 607-617 (2019). W. L.

Hosted by the Future Networks Satellite Working Group Date/Time: Wednesday, December 18th, 2024 @ 17:00 UTC Join us for two amazing presentations Topic: Management and Control Techniques for Energy Saving in Integrated Non-Terrestrial/Terrestrial Networks by Franco Davoli (CNIT-University of Genoa, Italy), Hesham Elbakoury (Consultant, USA) Abstract: In the evolutionary path beyond 5G toward 6G, network energy efficiency is being recognized as a fundamental indicator, along with those regarding system performance. The impact of this aspect extends to both wired and wireless networks and, among the latter, to Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) as well, and implies a reconsideration of management and control techniques to include the trade-off between energy and performance KPIs. This talk will touch upon some topics relevant to NTN/TN integration in this respect: conveying energy consumption information and adjustment capabilities; energy/performance tradeoff over multiple time scales; role of virtualization; multiple orchestration levels; exploiting O-RAN functional splitting in NTN edge extension; role of AI/ML. Speakers: Franco Davoli is Professor Emeritus at the University of Genoa, Department of Electrical, Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering, and Naval Architecture (DITEN). (see full bio in SPEAKER details) Hesham is an industry veteran with extensive background and expertise in IT/OT, and the architecture and design of access, carrier, and enterprise Networks.
